Proposed Bill to End Dual Citizenship Would Force First Lady and Son Barron to Choose or Lose U.S. Status

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) has introduced the "Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025," a measure that would require all Americans to hold only U.S. nationality. The proposal would force dual citizens — including First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron — to renounce their foreign citizenship or lose their U.S. status.

Melania, born in Slovenia in 1970, moved to New York in 1996 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006. Her son Barron, born later that year in the United States, is also understood to hold Slovenian citizenship through his mother.
